Non Muslims don't believe in Quran as The word of Allah, that is why they think away from the facts mentioned in Quran. Allah has clearly stated in Quran the reason of the marriage between the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and Zainab Bint Jahsh (And when Zaid has dissolved his marriage with her, We Made her a wife for you, so that the believers should find difficulty in marrying the ex wives of their adopted sons) Sura Al-Ahzaab, verse 37.

'Ahlul Bayt (AS) did mention this marriage being an order from Allah (SWT) to break a wrong common practice against divorcees of the adopted sons.

'It is worth mentioning that this objection on this marriage is not new but it was raised by the enemies of Islam from the Jewish and Nazareth and hypocrites during the life of the Prophet himself (SAWA) and was refuted by Quran, the Prophet and Ahlul Bayt (AS).

It is not strange from the enemies to accuse the Prophet and put false allegations against him.

Wassalam.
